Abstract

The partner violence field has become stagnant with the common use of "power and control" interventions for men in relationships characterized by intimate partner aggression (IPV), though such interventions have received only marginal support. Thus, it is time to admit that "one size does not fit all" in the treatment of partner abuse and that there are alternatives. Interventions for low-level physical aggression and psychological aggression against partners can be successfully implemented in diverse settings with relationship dyads as well explicated in this treatment evaluation with veterans and their partners (see Hayes et al, this issue).
